(Not mine)

I walk a path of briar and stone

Flowers and ash, I am alone.

I sing a song of time unknown

To a land of wind and bone.

I eat the colors in the sky,

I steal the colors from the sea.

The colors fill my friends and I

But this world isn't me.

Give me your message and I'll

Send it out on wings of flame

But don't ask me how I feel, just

See my eye and say my name

Breathless

Smoke screen

Reckless

Plummeting

On the day that I was born

I knocked a gaping hole in the sky

Oh my darling unicorn

I'll love you till the day I die

All my friends know who they are

They wear it for the whole world to see

A pink balloon, a shining star

But that'll never happen to me

(Song)

Dear Spike,

You are loved. Don't let anything ever let you think otherwise. The day you were born, you knocked a gaping hole in a certain purple unicorn's heart - a hole you made and only you can fill. Whatever else befalls you, whatever else causes hurt, sorrow, or depression, know that you have a home with ponies that care for you... LOVE you, Spike.

I don't blame you for feeling this way. But I want you to be happy. You belong here, Spike, and I want you to know that. You don't need a mark for the world to see - I know who you are: You are a true, true friend.

-Gummy
